The nurse is planning an educational program on cancer detection for a community group. What should be included in the plan to assure that the program will address various learning styles of clients?
1. Multicolored posters with bright colors
2. A lecture using many examples
3. Audiovisuals, examples, group discussions, and activities
4. A game board, with clients matching terms
3. Audiovisuals, examples, group discussions, and activities
Rationale:
When teaching a group, utilize strategies to address visual, auditory, manipulative, group, and problem-solving types of learners. Using different techniques and a variety of activities is a good way to match the various learning styles of group participants. Multicolored posters would only address those learners who learn in the visual mode. Lecture may not meet the needs of the entire group. Games are a useful teaching tool, but not useful when addressing a large group of individuals with varying learning styles.

A hospital recently learned that their scorecard did not meet the national benchmark for patient satisfaction and brought in a professional change agent to determine what their issues were and how they could improve their score
The agent collected data and recommended that nurses participate in interdisciplinary walking rounds and allow the patient and family to be participants. Nurses now round every shift and perform "huddles to update the team" as needed throughout the shift as part of best practices. Random visits are made to nursing units to ensure all nurses are participating and patients are interviewed for their involvement. This stage of Lewin's change is: a. unfreeze. b. moving. c. refreeze. d. resistance.
